Newport Ocean Drive Audio Tour:
Take a big breath of fresh, ocean air as you cruise through one of New England’s most picturesque towns: Newport! Start in the center of town, where you’ll pass some of the cutest Colonial architecture you’ve ever seen.

Next, learn all about the unbridled extravagance of the Gilded Age, from the Gatsby-esque parties to the petty feuds between America’s richest families. Gape at the impossibly lavish mansions lining the coast, from Rosecliff and Marble House to the world-famous Breakers. And, of course, get to know the builders and inhabitants of these Atlantic marvels.

Then, leap forward in time to Hammersmith Farm, childhood home of Jacky Kennedy and the so-called “winter White House” of JFK. There’s so much history along this coast you’d be forgiven for missing some of it—but we won’t! We’ll make sure you catch every last bit of Newport’s rich, complicated history, and you won’t even have to fuss with a map or guidebook! As you drive, audio stories will automatically pop up and start playing.

So what are you waiting for? Don your finest driving gloves, hop into your Rolls-Royce automobile, and take a drive through the Gilded Age!
